6. Programming Macro Buttons
A “macro” is a series of commands that you choose to be
sent out with the push of one button.
There are
two types of macro functions you can program
with the MX-500
TM
:
The
M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons
are designed to send out up to twenty commands from each
of the five hard buttons. The
ten device buttons can each
send a macro of up to 20 commands
when the device
button is pressed for more than 1 second
while on the
MAIN page of the remote control.
Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF
buttons with a macro, they will no longer function as ON
and OFF buttons for your components. Just erase any
macros you have programmed on to these buttons if you
want to restore the original ON and OFF function.
See the “Tips” at the end of this section for help on
programming macros.
